I have been working on a superhero/super-villain game for about three years now. After the initial rush of interest, some 4o plus, people interested in the playtesting of the system interest dropped off significantly. So after having a couple of illustrations completed and typing in this or that note, I let the project fall to the wayside.
This summer though there was a surprise for me. We started a side project of fiction for the super-powered fantasy genre. I expected more than a little response, but what I was expecting was a dirgent collection of superhero/villain stories set whereever. What I got was a slough of authors writing about WHERE the stories were set, with some superheroes thrown in afterwards. Though I had my own notes, I have to admit I am amazed at what an awesome place Tripod City is becoming.
